Hi Squid very sorry for not replying sooner, been just banging my head like an idiot (and working I guess) and forgot I wrote this. the run command: docker run -d --name='Plex-Media-Server' --net='host' -e TZ="America/Los_Angeles" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e HOST_HOSTNAME="Tower" -e HOST_CONTAINERNAME="Plex-Media-Server" -e 'PLEX_CLAIM'='claim-RYYznJVPE2KSGVs8D-ze' -e 'PLEX_UID'='99' -e 'PLEX_GID'='100' -e 'VERSION'='latest' -l net.unraid.docker.managed=dockerman -l net.unraid.docker.webui='http://[IP]:[PORT:32400]/web' -l net.unraid.docker.icon='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plexinc/pms-docker/master/img/plex-server.png' -v '/mnt/user/test/transcode/':'/transcode':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/Media Share':'/data':'rw' -v '/mnt/remotes/SOLACESTATION_Movies/':'/solacestation':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/Plex-Media-Server':'/config':'rw' 'plexinc/pms-docker' c2819961e19e4e82bbc84f619c7a87d8755f4f92b7cd1cee1472636dd5649257 The command finished successfully! ----------------------------------------------------- i got logs too but not sure how helpful they are. this is after startup I then navigate to plex in unassigned devices on tower and I can see everything in the drive. When I go to Plex I am getting issues with it like indefinite loading times on certain movie selections, or lag in the screen populating with information on movie screen like actor listings. I guess I'm still a little lost on what could be causing this. any other ideas of information I can gather to try resolve this?

hi all, Using plex to serve movies from the array which works just fine. I have a second NAS that I connected to the router, it's Synology NAS, and I connected it to Unraid as a remote mounted SMB (pictured). I can see these in PLEX so I know communications are happening across the devices. The quality however when played through Plex is not coming through correctly, it's darker, more blurry, artefacts on screen like it's streaming at low resolution. If I connect direct to the Synology it works and displays just fine. So I feel I've probably done the wrong connections on this and need to alter something but I'm not sure what. I have one plex endpoint I'd like everything to go through, i.e. the one through the Unraid server but for that Plex to see the Synology NAS I'm not sure how else to connect these apart from through the router, is there someway I can connect the NAS direct to the Unraid network card instead of how I've currently done it or am I looking at this all the wrong way entirely. cheers

funny enough this wasnt the issue but pointed me to fixing it. i found another article with the same issue and they pointed at rebuilding the flash drive which i did and now im back up and working again. went through a few issues. soem things of ntoe ill write in case someone encounters the same issue themselves, my dvi -> hdmi did not work on the tower but my dvi -> vga did work to show an output, this showed a kernel error which was happening on boot so to overcome this i saved my config folder, reflashed the usb, dropped my configs back in the usb, made it bootable again and worked first try without issue. one lesson learned amongst many was that LAN connection with lights does not mean its receiving anything if the kernel wont load, something ill keep in mind for future debugging

Hi all, Having an issue with my tower. It worked previously in another home before I moved and since i have moved it no longer works. i have looked on the router and i see multiple wirelessly connected devices but the ethernet no longer shows (it worked previously to be clear). the ethernet lights up as if working, fans are spinning, disks spinning like theyre being read on start up but not showing. Ive tried getting to the gui mode but its not outputting on the DVI that I can get a display out of on the monitor (annoyingly), not sure how to make it present now. starting to run out of ideas on what to try/test next to work out whats going on. looking for any ideas, next things to try will be rebuild the boot stick. test connection on router to other devices (this is working as of writing this post) try a switch/another router to route traffic through any ideas appreciated. new to unraid, i had it made out the box for me which was great to start with but now when debugging its a detriment when trying to find root cause issues out. thanks

100% thought I replied to this, ended up going down so many roads i wrecked my computers ability to communicate and spent a week just unwrecking it to get to a point of working again. I am finding that when the internet is coming through on the wifi on my machine it is causing colossal screw ups in what communications take precedence over ethernet and vpn connections on the machine. I found so many ways to connect my machine but then not have internet access, or connect it and not have vpn access, or have vpn and internet but no access to the tower. Even when i reset all IP's manually, remove the dhcp pool on the router, reprioritise the connections on the pc, I just can't get a good grip on it. instead i bought a little dumb switch and im going to try that instead of the router. should be here in 5 days ill try again then.

that was a really straight forward solution thank you! im back on the tower again

Hi all, I had these settings beforehand I then updated the IPv4 address to static and gave it an address of 192.168.7.1 When the config refreshed I was no longer able to reach the server on any address. Not the old, the new OR the IP the router was assigning it. So when I connect to ASUS Router it can see the tower when I leave DHCP on (it does not see the tower when DHCP is turned off at all). When the router sees the tower IP and I try then ping/connect to that IP at all it gets removed from the router table and appears back some time later. Pretty stuck what to do here. Tried connecting ethernet direct from pc to unraid server and I can't get anything to show/connect directly. Have I stuffed the box by trying to set a static IP? thanks

Hi all, Setting up an unraid for the first time, everything works and is set up on the server but now I'm having a connection issue in getting the license activated. I can connect to it on my local setup but I (think) am looking for advice on how to connect or allow my unraid connect to my network to activate my license through the wifi on my local pc. My current setup is home router is connected on wifi to my local main PC machine, my PC machine is connected to a local router in my office and connected to that router are two NAS machines, one unraid and one synology. Is it possible to allow the traffic from the unraid server (and the synology I guess) through my local router and through my local PC to connect to the wireless I'm connected to? Currently set up this way for a myriad of reasons, it's not ideal but I am also moving in the near future so it'll do for now until my next place where things will connect a little more directly/correctly) anyone got any ideas or dealt with something like this before? thank you for any help , tried googling for this but the results keep pushing for things that are not what I'm looking for so if anyone can even provide the words i should be looking at on google to find the right thing thatd be really helpful thank you
